The company that employed the core Immich devs about a year ago to give them a full-time salary to keep working on Immich. Founded and funded by a millionaire whose stated goal is to try and make a viable business model out of software that doesn’t abuse its users
e2ee would be important if youre uploading files when away from your local network
Even without e2ee or a VPN, just plain old HTTPS should be enough to secure that part, or am I missing something?
even if you steal my password (database)
That’s a big leap you’re doing there, equating stealing a password to stealing a password database. Those are very different. Stealing a password can be done through regular phishing, or a host of other methods that don’t require targeted effort. Stealing a password database, if properly set up, is a lot harder than that. It depends of course on what password manager you’re using, but it usually involves multiple factors itself. So equating that to just a password, no matter how strong and random, is just misleading.
Mind you, I agree that it’s less secure than “proper” MFA, and I’m not saying that everybody should just use MFA through a PW manager. I am using physical security keys myself. But for a lot of regular people that otherwise just couldn’t be bothered, it’s absolutely a viable alternative that makes them a whole lot safer for comparatively little effort. Telling them they just shouldn’t bother at all is just going to create more victims. There is no such thing as perfect security, and everyone has a different risk profile.
More like 1.5FA, at least. It still protects against passwords being compromised in any way that doesn’t compromise full access to your password database, which is still a lot better than using just passwords without a second factor.
You might have to sign out and then in again. There was a bug with the initial release that caused this kind of behavior
Idk know what editor you’re using, but it worked perfectly fine out of the box with IntelliJ. Nothing compared to the hassle of setting up a proper Eslint setup for typescript, honestly.
And I’m not trying to defend python here, I don’t touch that language except under duress, and I do prefer C-style code blocks as well. But this is kind of a pointless argument.
I don’t have any experience with Mega/Mattel stuff so far, so can’t really compare those. From what I hear, the quality of pieces is okay, but not on the same level as Lego and gobricks (the manufacturer that provides the bricks for both Lumibricks and Pantasy, among others).
If you actually want to give them a shot, just make sure you get relatively recent-ish sets (released within the last 2 years or so), as especially Lumibricks has very rapidly been refining the quality of their set designs, instructions etc, and gobricks pieces from before that time also tend to have quite strong clutch power which they’ve softened up by now. It’s really cool to see how quickly things are improving at the high end currently
My recommendation is Lumibricks or Pantasy. They’re not quite 1/3 of the price of Lego, more around 1/2 on average I think, but both offer the best brick quality that you’re going to get from any company at the moment (they use the same supplier, gobricks). They’re also both offering exclusively original designs, so no copied sets or anything like that, and doing a lot of stuff setting them apart from Lego. Lumibricks has light kits integrated seamlessly into every set and goes hard on printed pieces, no stickers anywhere. Pantasy likes using lots of metallic painted pieces, bigger custom molded pieces, and has a few interesting IPs.
If you’re into Technic, there’s also CaDa, and if you want very accurate display models you could look into Cobi. The later is a polish company that designs and produces entirely in Europe, in contrast to any other brand out there, but that also comes with a price tag that’s pretty similar to Lego at this point.
Bluebrixx is definitely around that 1/3 of lego prices. They are hit or miss though when it comes to quality as they use different brick suppliers for different sets, and it’s not always easy to know what you’re getting beforehand.
When have you last tried? The competition has changed immensely during the last couple of years, and there are brands now that have it dialed in just as well as Lego. I highly recommend checking out Lumibricks or Pantasy, those are best in class at the moment, and actually better than Lego in many ways, imo. Or maybe Cada, if you’re more into the Technic side of things
Oh yeah, agreed. I was just irked by the wording a bit
Thinking about work is not the same as working
I mean that depends entirely on what your work is and what you mean by “thinking”. As a designer/developer, just letting thoughts come and go without forcing it during off times is absolutely productive work that gives me a head start the next time I’m back at work “properly” again.
And as a CEO/business owner your job is making decisions for the most part, and thinking about those decisions should better be a big part of that
Unfortunately not. You do get a warning that it’s an unchecked cast at least.
Granted, the issue here is generic type erasure, which was a tradeoff that was decided on for backwards compatibility when generics were first introduced to Java, so it’s not like an actually desirable feature of the language. But the point is that this wouldn’t be reason for anyone to not call Java and Kotlin not statically typed, their type system is just a bit weaker than others in certain aspects
I get your point, but that’s not a great example. Kotlin is a statically typed language, and this compiles (and runs!) just fine:
val test: List<String> = listOf(1) as List<String>
println(test) // prints "[1]"
Even val test: String = 1 as String will compile, but at least gives you an exception at runtime, which the equivalent typescript wouldn’t.
There are tools that can change the colors of your screen to simulate different kinds of color blindness, that makes it pretty easy to test for the basics. I’ve been using this one in the past: https://colororacle.org/
But in general, it’s also just a good guideline to never rely only on color to communicate important information, and always also have a graphical or textual cue to go with the color.
Huh? I’m streaming from my Jellyfin just fine when I’m on the go, with no tailscale or other VPN set up
Why not simply say donation
It’s about setting expectations. The wording is chosen because they believe that paying open source developers for their work should be the norm, not the exception. Calling it a donation would not do that justice. Their wording is saying “Here’s the software, we’ll trust you to pay us for it if it brings you value and you can afford it”. It’s an explicit expectation to pay, unless you have good reasons not to, which is also fine but should be the exception. Whereas a donation is very much optional and not the default expectation by nature.
In the end it’s just a semantic difference, it’s just all about making expectations clear even if there is no enforcement around them.
The original Steam controller worked without Steam running, even including some of the extra features like mouse and scrolling functions for the trackpads if you wanted it to. So here’s hoping
One country cozying up to Putin is hardly a reason to call the entire EU divided
Because Google just has no idea how to deal with multilingual people. Google Assistant’s ability to understand and respond to prompts that are in either of my languages is completely unpredictable, even for the language the UI is displaying in. Another issue is that you apparently just cannot in any way control what language call screen will use to talk to a caller. Such a good feature rendered entirely useless for me because of that.
